Grady was peTp.eIed bV this 5sdiuage,
sud did not know whether to take it as
himself, and his attitude was simple
enough, though he explained it so awk-
wardly, Love works wonders, and his
love for this Circsa an creature had made
him wish TO reform Il certainly wa
absurd, as she had said but, such as it
wss, the wish hsd taken very deep pos
session of him.
Whether or not she was in eaynes. IS g
much more difficult question. But women
seldom make any iuhrIi1ie plans, and q
woman who, ike this one, had thoroughly
corrupted her moral sud intellectual
principles was likely TO adhere TO a
course no longer than suited her Cspri-e.
